Frequently Asked Questions
|
Can I do this part time?
Yes. You may figure your time in the field to be approximately
15 to 20 minutes per machine including your travel time (3-5
minutes servicing the machine and 10 minutes between locations).
These figures will vary depending on your
individual speed and distance between locations.
Can I operate from my house?
Yes. There is no need for an expensive office or warehouse. Many
small operators use their basements or garages to store
equipment and products.
Are there tax advantages?
Many tax advantages are available. To determine the best
plan of action for your particular situation, we suggest that
you discuss this matter in more detail with your accountant, CPA
or tax preparer.
How good is the cash flow?
Excellent. This is an all cash business. There are no
receivables. You don’t need any more than your original
investment. However, the more machines you place on locations,
the quicker your cash income increases.
Once I am in business, how long before I start making money? The
nice thing about this business is that from the first day your
machines are on location, they are working for you. Your vending
machines will begin making money immediately. There is no need
to work and wait for months or years while you build a
clientele. Your machines are like “silent” salespersons working
for you. They are on the job constantly, day and night, summer
and winter, Sundays and holidays. Vending equipment caters to
everyone; rich, poor, male, female, young and old.
Do I have to sell & advertise?
No. You will not be selling like sales people on
a show room floor or on a telephone or door to door. Your
vending machine is your sales person. You may hire a
professional locator to negotiate the initial deal for your
vending machine installation at a location, but after that is
done, your good service and attention to detail is considered
the best way to keep an account sold on you. The manufacturers
of the products you are selling have spent a fortune on
advertising and have created a huge demand for their product.
You are taking advantage of that.
Is the market saturated? Are there enough locations for
me to expand? Although you can see vending machines
everywhere, there are between two and three million new small
businesses starting each year. You be the judge.
Where do I buy my products? You can buy from local candy,
beverage and snack wholesalers in your area. You will also
notice special deals at the nationally advertised discount
wholesale outlets such as Sams Club, Costco and others.
What kind of products sell best? The most popular items
are beverages and snacks, candy, cookies, pastry,
chips as well as gum and mints.
Should I use name brands? There is no substitute for
quality. Name brand products are household favorites
nationwide and are recognized by millions each day.
We recommend using name brand products. You will
find that your customers will use your machines
repeatedly when they see quality products.
Can my family service vending machines?
Many route
owners use their teenage children to help service
the vending equipment. This not only allows the
operator to expand and have access to quick and
reliable help, but it also allows the teenage to
learn a business while earning pocket money.
How many machines can I service or put out?
It
depends on how much money you want to make, and how
much time you are willing to invest. Larger routes
also include managing other people. We will gladly
discuss your individual business plan and help you
determine what would be necessary for growth and
achievement of your goals.
How much money can I make?
It all depends on the
quality of your locations and type of vending
machines. The more traffic at the location, the more
dollars you make.
What would I do if I need parts or service?
Parts
are easily accessible. Parts and components are
always available for all of the equipment we sell on
our web site. We do not usually sell parts for
equipment which we do not sell.
Do I need a truck or a van? No. Most people service
their route from their existing vehicle. Once you
have grown to the point that it becomes totally
uncomfortable to continue operating in this manner,
you take the next natural step.
Where are vending machines placed?
Because of their
attractive designs, vending machines can be placed
in almost any business or office location.
How long does it take to get started? If you have
not already created your own personal business plan,
we strongly suggest that you put your plan in
writing. An effective plan must include a clear,
measurable statement of goals and objectives. It
must assign specific action oriented
responsibilities to members of your family or
organization and provide a time-table for
implementation and completion. With these thoughts
in mind, you are ready to begin.
